Frequently asked questions
Does splitting happen on your servers?
No. The ZIP is generated locally.
What syntax can I use for page ranges?
Use commas to separate ranges and hyphens to indicate spans, e.g. "1-3, 5, 7-10". Single pages and multiple ranges are supported.
Why is the output a ZIP file?
Splitting produces multiple PDFs. A ZIP keeps them bundled in one download so nothing gets lost.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly — unlock the PDF first with the Unlock PDF tool, then run the split.
